As the global community is called to re-examine our relationship to the natural world, one thing is certain: despite all our technological advances we are completely dependent on healthy and vibrant ecosystems for our water, food, medicines, clothes, fuel, shelter and energy, just to name a few.
The theme in 2022 is “Building a shared future for all life”. Fitting within the context of the ongoing United Nations Decade on Restoration, which highlights that biodiversity is the answer to several sustainable development challenges, the slogan conveys the message that biodiversity is the foundation upon which we can build back better.
From ecosystem-based approaches to climate and/or nature-based solutions to climate, health issues, food and water security and sustainable livelihoods, biodiversity is the foundation upon which we can build back better. That is the main message from the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), key international instrument for sustainable development.
Pakistani Perspective
Pakistan is one of the worst affected country and there are great concerns of sustainability of Biological Biodiversity. Some of the following issues are prominent.
1- Life of Snow Leopards
2. Blind Dolphins of Indus River & Trout of River Swat
3. Markhor conservation in Gilgit Baltistan
4. Different Species of deer
5- Decreasing number of Urrial in Chakwal district
6. Safety of Migratory birds especially in Balochistan and Sindh
7. Biodiversity in Margalla Hill forest
And many more.
There is great need of implementation of laws, increasing capacity of Wild Life Departments, conservations of forests, streams, rivers and Lakes.
Every life created by creator must be saved.
